Does anyone doubt Netanyahu will be able to split Blue and White again and secure a majority without Gantz? With the 2 Telem defections, he’s already at 60. He has 18 months to play chess while these others are playing checkers.

Netanyahu is on his way out. He just wants to leave like a Mentch. That means not playing shtik with Gantz. I think things will be pretty smooth until Netanyahu steps down and leaves politics (ok, he’ll never leave, but he won’t be official). After that, you can probably expect new elections after the first big internal fight.
